Page "John Quincy Adams" Paragraph 69

Adams occasionally is featured in the mass media.

In the PBS miniseries The Adams Chronicles ( 1976 ), he was portrayed by David Birney, William Daniels, Marcel Trenchard, Stephen Austin, Steven Grover and Mark Winkworth.

He was also portrayed by Anthony Hopkins in the 1997 film Amistad, and again by Ebon Moss-Bachrach in the 2008 HBO television miniseries John Adams ; the HBO series received criticism for needless historical and temporal distortions in its portrayal.
